Industrial hemp certified seed production in Vojvodina region

Abstract

Market demand for quality varietal seeds of industrial hemp has caused an increase in the production area of hemp certified seed crops in our country. Maintenance and multiplication of varietal seed is in the competence of a registered institution which is the owner or maintainer of the variety. Production, processing and marketing of industrial hemp certificated seed are regulated by the Seed Law. Many elements of agricultural practices are common in cultivation of hemp as certified seed crop and for the grain. There are also agricultural practices specific for certified industrial hemp seed crop production. Compared to the cultivation management of the hemp grain crop, main differences are in crop maintenance practices, sowing and harvesting.

Potražnja za kvalitetnim sortnim semenom industrijske konoplje, kako na domaćem tako i na inostranom tržištu, uzrokovala je povećanje površina pod semenskim usevima kod nas. Održavanje i umnožavanje sortnog semena je u nadležnosti institucije koja je upisana u Registar proizvodača i doradivača semena konoplje i koja je vlasnik ili odrzivač sorte. Proizvodnja, dorada i plasman semena industrijske konoplje regulisani su Zakonom o semenu. Tehnologija proizvodnie semenske konoplje u mnogim elementima je istovetna sa agrotehnikom konopilje za proizvodnju zrna. Međutim, postoje i određene specifičnosti koje su karakteristične samo za proizvodnju semenskog useva. Najveće razlike su u načinu setve, merama nege i načinu i vremenu žetve.
